In Malaysia, Murtabak is one of the favorite food during fasting month. During fasting month, we can found many place or bazaar selling Murtabak in so many version and specialty. Murtabak Mengkasar also has their own specialty that can't be found in normal murtabak.

Murtabak Mengkasar originated from Kampung Mengkasar, Pekan, Pahang. The founder received the secret recipe from their neighbour who wanted to pass on the recipe to their family when looking their family love to do food business. Their specialty is from the layer of Murtabak and the spices that they use. They mix their own spice until now to remain the original spice in it.

Murtabak Mengkasar has 2 outlet currently, one in Kg. Mengkasar, Pekan and one in Bukit Sekilau,Kuantan.

Murtabak Mengkasar actually well known in Pahang but too bad I just manage to eat it recently.
